Q cohesionless soil, geotech.
A huge marble boulder on a quarry site sits on the ground. This marble is 10 m by 10 m and has a height of 16 m. The boulder is situated on a 6 m thick soil with e = 0.70, S = 65%, and G, = 2.68, then by a 5 m thick clay with e = 0.80, G, = 2.71 and LL = 48. The water table exists in between the sand-clay interface. The specific gravity of the marble is 2.60. Assuming that the clay is normally consolidated...

A soil has the following profile with depth (sand layer over clay layer): z = 0-5 ft, Yt= 110 pcf; z = 5-40 ft, Y = 119 pcf. The water table is at a depth of 5 ft. Note: for sand layer (0-5 ft), w = 5.5%, G, = 2.65; K, = 0.30; for clay layer (5-40 ft), PI = 42%, S = 100%; K. = 0.67.
